0 Woodie106 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Pop the plastic covers off with a small screw driver & take the bulbs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Arturo Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Pop the plastic covers off with a small screw driver & take the bulbs out.Hi Woodie106, Thanks for the reply, but I was a bit hesitant to try to force it in fear of breaking or cracking the covers, the front map light covers are easy pop off, and there are some videos on youtube, but no video for the rear ones. Regards,Arturo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Arturo Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I finally got them out, you realy have to be very careful prying them out, I was sweating all over the place afraid that I would break one of the covers. Now I can change all the interior lights to leds. Thanks for the replys. Best regards, Arturo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GVCamper Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just did this on mine, the small ones aren't exactly intuitive but changing all interior lights to leds really gave strong light and made my 05 look some years newer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 The 42mm CANBUS error free festoon lights I bought were SMD / LED. 70W was the total of the old festoons and the two map lights, the new SMD's gave more light per unit and reduced the total draw from the battery / alternator down to 10W. Yes the dimmers work just the same. The 5050 SMD's I used were these crappy ones but they work ok! I needed 8 but bought 12 @ £1.90 each at the time. The two 501 W5W 8SMD LED for the map-lights were SMD / LED and I had to 'fettle' by soldering bits of wire direct to the old 'wedge' bulb holder. Mines a 2005, you should check that yours are 42mm festoon, ditto the T10 bulb holders in the overhead. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robbie2red Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi guys, I have an 07 Gen 4 GV, I want to replace the interior bulbs to LED's, what sizes etc do I need to order please? I'm a wheelchair user, so it's a job for my PA once I get the right bulbs. Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robbie2red Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 For anyone else out there looking to do the same. Here’s a good video for anyone looking to do the same: https://youtu.be/jdie4bJQGWYI think it’s in Spanish though, but good that you can see how to. He’s used 41mm festoon led’s. bignev and adrimo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
